Katerina who has been on 6 In The Saddle rides. Fantastic from beginning to the end | This is a well-run, friendly and fantastic riding holiday destination. The scenery, the villa, the food and the opportunities of riding on forward-going, well cared for horses and meet such lovely people and also not forgetting the family-run holiday, where all the logistics, food preferences and transfers and help are just so professional run are why so many of us love to come back. The riding was, at times, fast so you must be honest about your abilities and be confident in all paces and although you will be matched with a horse for your skills, that doesn't mean you should expect the horses to ride for you - this is not trekking. I would say you need to be a regular rider and have been out of hacks, not just in an arena. You will get the most thrill and enjoyment by ensuring you have worked on your experience and are ready for all the fast and slower paced riding skills required and are happy to meet new people and have a great time.

Lisa who has been on 6 In The Saddle rides. Galloping Into 2025! | The riding at Los Alamos was excellent with lovely quiet tracks in the forest and fantastic canters and gallops in the firebreaks and on the beach. I had a fixed smile on my face from the moment I mounted.

Netta who has been on 8 In The Saddle rides. Fab as always | Yes.................I need to book another x

Judy who has been on 39 In The Saddle rides. Always a pleasure. | Rachel works hard to find a good 'fit' between rider and horse. This may mean riding 2 (or more) horses during the course of the week.

Cathy who has been on 53 In The Saddle rides. Riding through wooded dunes, exhilarating gallops along the firebreaks. Two days were ridden on the beach with the backdrop of Cape Trafalgar lighthouse, such fun. To get the best of the beach re the tides, one morning we began the ride in the dark with only the stars and moon for illumination. The horses were full of energy yet easy to control and all in immaculate condition.

[Abbie from ITS replies: Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased that you enjoyed Christmas at Los Alamos].

Neil who has been on 24 In The Saddle rides. Amazing, as always | It can be quite a long time at walk between canters. It might be nice to have a few little trots to break things up a little.

Wendy who has been on 20 In The Saddle rides. Wonderful Christmas Week | This was my second visit to Los Alamos over Christmas and I couldn't fault it. What better way to spend the festive season than in Spain, enjoying some winter sunshine, great food and drink, fabulous horses, fun rides and a gallop down the beach to blow away any cobwebs! Our hosts Andrew, Rhiannon and Rachel and our riding guides Jose and Roberto were all superb which made for a fantastic week. Loved it and would definitely go again!

Jane who has been on 16 In The Saddle rides. Fun week riding on the beaches and in the forest | I wasn’t happy with the first horse selected for me - this wasn’t a problem and I was immediately given a horse I was much happier with and rode the whole week. This meant i really got to know him and had a great time

David who has been on 12 In The Saddle rides. As always at Los Alamos, a good holiday in all respects | The days were not too long, which I appreciated

Judith who has been on 19 In The Saddle rides. Fun, food and fast | Beach gallop always tide and sand dependant.

Helen (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Beautifully understood and cared for horses and riders | The horses and hosts love their jobs and excel in sharing their passion for this beautiful part of Spain with their riders. The riding is fabulous, both beach and forest. Fast and fun, but also peaceful.

Christine who has been on 13 In The Saddle rides. Super holiday | Lovely riding and beach conditions were very good both days.

Jennifer who has been on 5 In The Saddle rides. Excellent Riding Holiday | Superb all round - staff, horses, terrain and pace of rides. Beautiful, peaceful forest and magnificent beach. Exhilarating riding. Have been several times, but it always exceeds my expectations.

Emma (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Woodland/Beach Horse Riding | Excellent

Sarah (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Unforgettable Spanish riding experience! | The rides on this holiday were fabulous. A perfect variety of beautiful forest trails and long sandy beaches. The terrain and wonderful horses allowed us to expeience exhilatrating long canters and gallops. Cantering through the water on the beach and galloping in the firebreaks was our highlight and something we would be unlikely to experience at home.

Lorna (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Legends of Los Alamos! | What an absolutely unbelievably cool holiday!! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left Los Alamos we were truly cared for by Andrew, Rhiannon and Rachel. The riding was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done and, despite not having the best weather, the team adapted the timetable so we got our beach gallop in on the first day and managed a fire breaker gallop on the last - we didn’t miss out on anything! Jose and Roberto were totally brilliant whilst we were riding and we felt we were in safe hands at all times - the ‘little canters’ were the best!! The accommodation was fabulous and the food and drink totally first rate - you catered for the different needs of our group brilliantly.

This was the perfect first riding holiday and it’ll be hard to beat the hospitality, riding experience and overall fun we had with a fabulous bunch of people.

Thank you Los Alamos for all you did for us - we loved it all!

Aisling who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Horses are a credit to the team, loved the riding. That said, riding round and round the forest does get a bit monotonous.

Anita who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. Riding holiday | This is my forth time with this family, what wonderful accommodating people they are, can’t do enough for you, wonderful horse’s fabulous family, highly recommend

Vivienne (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Every day was an unforgettable adventure | Never been on this type of riding holiday before. It far exceeded my expectations. Excellent food and drinks at every meal.

Dee who has been on 5 In The Saddle rides. Amazing | Yet another amazing time at Los Alamos. Everyone goes that extra mile to ensure you have the best time. Thanks too Andrew. Riannon, Jack. Rachel and Denise. Plus of cause Jose and Roberto our guides and wonderful horses.

Leslie who has been on 26 In The Saddle rides. Wonderful | Excellent

Ingrid who has been on 6 In The Saddle rides. Excellent

Astrid who has been on 40 In The Saddle rides. A perfect combination of riding and beach holiday | After visiting Los Alamos several times I knew what to expect and they fulfilled my hopes.
Lovely horses, very nice food and super service from the hosts.

Rowena who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Absolutely fantastic holiday | The riding took us through forests where we could gallop along sandy firebreaks and on the beach for more fast work, spaced with walks to take in the views. We took the horses in the sea and we had regular stops on each ride to take photos. The rides were exhilarating but the horses were safe, responsive and surefooted. I loved every minute of it.

Judy who has been on 10 In The Saddle rides. Wonderful riding holiday | Rachel does an amazing job matching horses to riders, the dynamics of the group and weather conditions - no mean feat! I rode 3 horse and they were all fit, responsive, eager and well schooled. Think forward going but with good brakes if needed, and this is exactly what you get. Lovely riding through the forest and on the beaches. Lots of canters and gallops too. Jose kept us fully informed on the rides about any changes of pace and checked regularly to make sure everyone was ok. Early mornings to enable us to ride on the beach meant setting off in the dark which was a new experience for me, but they are so well organised it wasn’t a problem at all, and we got to see sunrises too.

Selina who has been on 8 In The Saddle rides. Another great time at Los Alamos | As always, Andrew, Rhiannon, Rachel, Jack and Denise looked after us impeccably, with lots of support from Hose and Roberto out on the rides. The level of attention to detail is amazing and the chilled atmosphere, despite the frenetic activity that must be happening behind scenes, is just incredible.
Lovely rides on great, well-schooled and cared-for horses.

Samia who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Fantastic! | The riding met my expectations, great horses very responsive and very gentle to handle.
I was able to ride 4 different horses during my trip it was really enjoyable.

Anne who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Stupendos Los Alamos!! | Los Alamos as a riding holiday experience far exceeded my expectations (and they were quite high as two friends have been previously). The horses are so well cared for and loved and are super fit and forward going. Rachel is an expert at matching the horse to the rider's experience and she got it right perfectly. I had two horses during our stay to ensure the horses get rested, but I could have changed again if I wanted to. I fell in love with both the Spanish mare called Camboria and the Arab gelding called Rio. The trails through the Forest and beach are very relaxing, mixed with canters and adrenaline-pumping gallops. I was transformed into a big kid and could actually race my mate on one gallop. We were very lucky with our group of riders as they were all interesting people from mixed backgrounds/ages and were accomplished riders.
The horses are carefully selected so you can choose your own pace.

Mid week we went on a trip to the Spanish Riding school and that was a good experience.

In a nutshell I loved it so much that I've already booked for next year so that say's it all!

Dawn who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Relaxing holiday with horses | Excellent

Nicolette who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Fabulous! | Excellent

Tessa who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. HORSE HEAVEN | This was my second visit. The riding was both relaxing and exciting, The location was stunning, the horses were fit and feisty but well trained.
[Becky from In The Saddle replies: Thank you very much for your feedback, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your return to Los Alamos.]

Barbara who has been on 2 In The Saddle rides. Another fabulous week | Again, lots of fun - Jose and Roberto in fine form as were the horses.
